welcome to the wonderful world of owning boas! Lucky for us, care is almost identical to that of a ball python. Yor husbandry sounds good, but id switch to an appropriate size enclosure asap. If she is young and on hopper mice, etc, you only need to wait a day to handle, but once he/she gets up to eating small/mediums you might want to wait a couple days for their metabolism is much slower than that of a BP. She is young to i would feed every 5-7 days and then make it every 10 days when you start feeding small or medium rats. Hope this helps!![]()
